D - A nice, classic, well-executed Imperial Stout, but with some oatmeal creaminess as a twist. Nothing mind-blowing, but pretty easy to drink and pretty tasty. Would do really well in a bourbon barrel. I'd order another glass if it was still on next time I'm at Clybourn.

This imperial oatmeal stout is just my size... Anyway, this stuff pours a straight obsidian topped by over a finger of light brown foam. The nose comprises roasted malts, light booze, and plenty of chocolate syrup. The taste brings in more of the same, with some sort of plum/anise flavor pervading the background. The body is a hefty medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a smooth feel. Overall, a pretty nice impy oatmeal stout, not the best of the genre I've had at this particular establishment, but it's pretty good stuff.
